RE: 338 win mag rifle
I think the 338-caliber is the perfect choice for the game you are hunting.
I hunt elk & black bear with my Sako model 995 that is chambered in 340-Weatherby. My rifle kicks hard, but I have refined my shooting to accept the recoil without flinching. Should I ever draw a moose or bison tag??? My 340-Wby will be the gun I grab.
